Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a machine for electric coffee comprising a box comprising a base on which an infusion container holder rests, a upright secured to the base containing an infusion group and carrying in its upper region an infusion head overhanging said support, and a water tank formed of a tubular body having a bottom and a wall lateral and intended to supply said infusion group.
  • a machine for electric coffee comprising a box comprising a base on which an infusion container holder rests, a upright secured to the base containing an infusion group and carrying in its upper region an infusion head overhanging said support, and a water tank formed of a tubular body having a bottom and a wall lateral and intended to supply said infusion group.
  • the tank water is mounted in the housing in an adjoining location the amount and / or the infusion head and therefore can cause, when filling, splashing or unfortunate spills that may infiltrate in the case and come into contact with the components electric. In addition, these flows dirty the surface condition of the case.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to remedy the drawbacks cited while offering the user manipulation simple and reassuring of the tank, and to realize simple construction while being reliable.
  • the water tank is mounted pivoting on the housing around a vertical axis (X-X ') to occupy at least one storage position and one extension position.
  • the user can thus pass the tank water from its storage position to its extended position or so-called filling by a simple movement of pivoting exerted on the tank and vice versa.
  • the tank bottom has an outlet nozzle which is adapted to be connected to said brew group and which forms a lower pivot for the tank.
  • connection is subject primarily to a movement of rotation with low angular movement thus causing no significant wear constraint and guaranteeing a good seal over time.
  • the electric coffee machine shown in the figure 1 includes a housing 1 comprising a base 2 on which rests a support 3 of the infusion container (not shown), an upright 4 secured to the base containing an infusion group shown schematically in 5 ( Figure 3) and bearing in its upper region an infusion head 6 overhanging said support 3, and a cold water tank 7 formed of a tubular body having a bottom 8 and a side wall 9.
  • the reservoir 7 is intended to supply brew group 5.
  • the tank 7 is mounted in an espresso type coffee machine which includes, as is known per se, a connected pump to the cold water tank and intended to supply under pressure a water heater, itself connected to the brew head 6 which is equipped with a spoon 10 containing a dose of coffee.
  • the coffee machine can be of the type "drip", the infusion head carrying in this case a filter for receiving ground coffee.
  • the water tank 7 is mounted pivoting on the housing 1 around a vertical axis referenced X-X 'to occupy at least one storage position and use ( Figures 1 and 3) and a position extension or so-called filling ( Figure 2).
  • the bottom 8 of the tank has a water outlet nozzle 11 which is adapted to be connected to said brew group 5 and which forms a pivot lower for the tank 7.
  • the lower pivot 11 as well constituted is mounted in a bore 12 formed in the base 2.
  • the water tank 7 carries an upper pivot 13 which engages with a bearing 14 secured to the upright 4.
  • the water tank 7 is removably mounted on the base 2.
  • the bore includes a seal annular 15 with flexible lip 16 which encloses the nozzle 11 sealingly and a connector 17 connected to a tube 18, itself connected to the brew group 5, while the bearing 14 is formed by a projection vertically arranged curve to hang on the upper pivot 13 which has a hook 21 which engages with said projection.
  • This bearing projection extends vertically in an arc of a circle for limit the travel of the tank 7.
  • the base 2 has the general shape of a flat cylinder on which rests in the front part the support 3 forming infusion residue tank and having a semi-cylindrical shape, and on the rear side the upright 4 and the tank 7.
  • the bottom 8 of the latter has the shape of a lunula (see the Figures 1 and 2) and the side wall 9 has a face which in storage position is included in the volume generated by the base.
  • said tank In order to achieve maximum tank extension 7 outside the base of the housing 1, said tank extends along the upright and the vertical pivot axis X-X 'is substantially arranged in the peripheral region of base 2. This extension thus allows filling easily from the tank without risk of splashing the housing 1.
